crochet and knit hearts today.

Today I used the pattern, Good Luck Duck from Sweet Softies. I watched the YouTube video and there is a comment on the video that gives you the instructions to add feet. I used Mira handcrafts minis from Amazon that my husband gave me for Christmas. I used a 3 mm hook, my new hook…
